Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the Voice to Parliament has been a long process but the Australian people will be the ones who ultimately decide its fate.
“This is a process that has been many, many years in the making, leading up to this process,” Mr Albanese said during parliamentary Question Time on Wednesday.
“We also established, I know, a timeframe very clearly when I indicated that there would be a draft … we then had a process through a referendum working group. “The legislation will now go to the Senate and then it will go to the Australian people, the Australian people will get to decide and I certainly hope that they vote yes.”
